If you're the type of person who buys a new car and drives it until the wheels fall off, then this is for you. Forbes recently released a list of what they consider the 10 most-likely vehicles that will keep on running for over 250,000 miles.
Forbes analyzed reliability ratings and looked into common problem areas on vehicles 10 years old and newer. Vehicles on the list include the Scion xB, Toyota Camry, Subaru Forester, and Mazda Mazda6. Below is the full list.
And if you're considering any of these long-lasting vehicles, don't forget to use TrueCar No Haggle, RydeShopper and CarsDirect to see the best prices being offered by local dealers.
